Who can forget Shilpa’s Date Cake, that spread like wild fever in her Aunt’s circle! Well, it is tough to resist such a well tried and tested recipe, and I’m all for simple recipes I made a few substitutions in the original – increasing milk to one cup and oil to 1/4 cup, plus using whole wheatflou
Cracked wheat with tons of veggies
This dish is modeled after the excellent Vegetable Baath that my mom makes.

Kerala Vegetable Stew / Ishtew and Aapam

The ‘tasteful giving’ list on the NY Times website, has caught my eye and heart and caught it badly. Each stuff is carefully chosen and is sure to be a delight for any food kitchen lover. I wish there was one such list of irresistible foodie stuff compiled from stores in India…I’m sure there’ll
Another Banana Cake – David Lebovitz inspired
I never tire of making banana cakes (or bread if you like to call it that). Banana cake was the first thing I ever baked and it has remained a hot favourite. Besides, now that we are trying to avoid eggs in baked products too, it is fun to look at innovative ways to bake our favourite goodies by usi
